DUBLIN, September 11.-Mr. O'Brien was
arrested to-day while seeing Mr.. Labou-
chere of on the steamer Mitchellstowu
has been quiet to-day. The victims of the
fight on Friday will be given a public
funeral on Monday, which will be made
the occasion of great demonstration. The
man Shininck. and the boy Casey are dy-
ing from the effects of their wounds re-
ceived on Friday. CaSeys ante mortem
deposition has been taken. He states that
he was standing near Shinnick at one
corner OF the square when Head Constable
O'Sullivan came to a window of the bar
racks and fired at him. Four witnesses
confirm this statement. The Nationalists
say that they have evidence to establish
the identity of the policeman who shot
Riordan.
Mr.. 0'Brieu spent the day at BalIybrsck
with Messrs. Dillon and Harrington. He
received a telegram from Mr.. Labouchere
and Mr.. Drummer requesting him to accom-
pany them to London. Mr.. 0'Brien, &C.
comPanied by Mr.. Harrington, went on
board the Kingston boat for the purpose
of declining the invitation to 60 to Lon
don, when q detective met him and said
he would not be arrested If he pledged
himself not to 60 to England. Mr.. o.
Brien refused this condition, when he was
taken into custody and escorted to the
Imperial Hotel by the detective, who in
formed him that he could stay there all
night if he would give promise that he
would not make a speech; This
promise was not given and Mr..
OBrien addressed q crowd from the
balcony of the hotel. In the course of his
brief remarks he said: $50 long as there
is breath in my body, my voice viii not
be silent until am gagged. am proud
to suffer for Mitchellstown. When in
Kingston / was told that would not be
arrested If did not undertake to 60 to
England. That shows that the government
is beginning to dread Us in England"
Mr.. O'Brien will remain at the hotel
tonight, and proceed to Mitchellstown in
the morning. The crowd gathered in front
of the hotel was very enthusiastic. Mr..
O'Brien, in an interview on the subject of
his arrest, said that he had no intention of
going TO England when he boarded the
boat. He merely went there to see Mr..
Labouchere. As to making a speech at
the hotel, he said he had no idea of doing
so until the detective mentioned 1t.
Contipgents of Nationalists from all the
surrounding towns promise to attend the
funeral to morrow. The procession will
be an enormous one. The police refuse to
allow the procession to traverse the regu-
lar route to the cemetery, which passes the
barracks. The Nationalists consider this
a great indignity, as they will be COM
PEELED to go through the Protestant part of
the town. They claim that they have q
right to take the usual route, promising
to re sort TO no violence. The coffin of the
old man shot dead on Friday, whose name
was Lonergan, not RioIdan, is inscribed
as follows: Michael Lonergan, murdered
September 9, 1887. Requiescat in Pace"
The funeral will begin at p. M.
Lopergan has three sons in America and
FIVE children at home. The magistrate
promises to keep the police out OF sight to-
day if the funeral procession avoids the
Barracks.
Messrs. Lsbouchere, Hooper, Brunner
and other members of Parliament adj
dressed a meeting in Cork on Saturday,
called to denounce the action of the Gov
eminent. Michael Davitt spoke at meet
ing in Dublin to-day. He declared that he
would adopt every word and meaning of
Mr.. 0'Brien's speech at Mitohellstown.
Irishmen would deserve the contempt OF
the world If they allow themselves to be
hunted from their cabins like beasts. He
complained bitterly sgainst the constabu-
larry for Staying their own kith and kin in
cold blood, even without word of COM
mand from their officers. If the slum-
beripg embers of retalatory vengeance were
faced as in 1SS1-he hoped they would not
De-LDe DJdme lOI on evil hHOueut upOA
Ireland would fall upon the instigators OF
the MitchelIstown massacre.
All were in state of the greatest excite
ment. There were but few people around
the barracks. The police were perfectly
safe. 1t is remarkable that the carman
killed bad the previous day refused his We
hicle to the police. Mr.. Labouchere say.
that never in his life did he come across so
offensive q specimen of an official with
brute force at his back as Head Constable
Brownrigg. Two men more unfit for deli
cate duties could not be found on the
globe than Seagrave, weak creature who
loses his head, and Brownrigg, bully in
whose ewes all yenturing TO look sskance
at him ought to be shot. They are re-
sponsible for the deaths that occurred.
